Landsat Time Enabled Imagery


View Larger Map
This map includes a variety of Landsat services which have been time enabled and can be explored using the Time Slider in the ArcGIS.COM Map Viewer or Explorer. Each layer has a predefined useful band combination already set on the services.

Data Source: This map includes image services compiled from the following Global Land Survey (GLS) datasets: GLS 2005, GLS 2000, GLS 1990, and GLS 1975. GLS datasets are created by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) using Landsat images. These global minimal-cloud cover, orthorectified Landsat data products support global assessments of land-cover, land cover-change, and ecosystem dynamics such as disturbance and vegetation health.
